Ungodly packet loss rates

I agree the Internet performs poorly between a lot of sites. There is
much we can do to make it work better. My prediction is it is more
likely to get worse than better in the near term.....:( My current "pet
peeve" is that peering is more political than technical these days.
There are customers that will pay more for better service, but it's a
much more difficult sale. Limiting growth is very difficult, probably
impossible. Many ISPs have VC or public money invested now, so the
pressure to increase sales is pretty irresistible.
Best Regards,
